Sewing - medium hot pad with a removeable and washable cover with four different fabrics

Another hot pad with a removable and reversible cover which features four different fabrics!!  This one is just a medium size 10" x 12" and will certainly work better for anyone with a smaller table.  I used the same fabrics as the last one - subtle Christmas, green with maroon and ochre flowers, red poppy with black and a shaded maroon.  Again, the hot pad has cotton batting, insulbrite, and a knitted wool batting encased with dark flannel.

Sewing - large hotpad with a removable/washable cover that features four different fabrics

I have made a cover for this large hot pad which I made a while back. I used four pieces of fabric all the same size about 3/4" or so larger than the hot pad and sewed them into a tube by leaving an opening on one of the sides when I sewed them together.  It allows for the cover to have four "different" looks.  The one that is folded over is a very subtle Christmas print that went well with the other fabrics.  This way you can simply wash the cover and reuse it for next time.  Less wear and tear on the hot pad and another cover could certainly be made up if this one should have an "accident".  You can see the other two fabrics in the photo below.
